+## **Streamlined API Access for FortiGate**
 
-Welcome to **forti-api**, an open-source project designed to unlock the full potential of FortiGate's API. Developed through meticulous research and practical application, **forti-api** makes it easier for network security professionals to harness FortiGate's powerful, yet often complex, capabilities.
+Welcome to Forti-API, an open-source project crafted to simplify and enhance your interaction with FortiGate's powerful APIs. Designed with network security professionals in mind, Forti-API transforms complex API tasks into streamlined operations, empowering you to unlock the full potential of your FortiGate systems.
 
+## 🌟 **Early Access** 🌟
 
-## Project Vision
+Get started with **Forti-API** effortlessly using Conan for dependency management. Whether you're using **Meson** or **CMake**, integrating Forti-API into your project is straightforward!
 
+### 📦 **Add the Forti-API Remote**
 
-### Simplifying FortiGate Management
+First, add the Forti-API remote to your Conan configuration:
 
-**forti-api** is designed to turn the intricate world of FortiGate firewall management into something straightforward and accessible. By providing a clean interface that integrates seamlessly with your existing setup, this tool simplifies complex configurations, making advanced network management more approachable for everyone.
+```bash
+conan remote add forti-api https://repo.cooperhlarson.com/artifactory/api/conan/fortigate
+```
 
-### Real-World Impact
+### **Add the Dependency to Conan**
 
-With tools like **forti-hole** and **forti2ban**, **forti-api** integrates Pi-hole and Fail2Ban directly into the FortiGate ecosystem. These integrations have been proven to significantly enhance network security, achieving a 97% block-rate against ad traffic with the advanced DNS filter—transforming ad-heavy sites into cleaner, faster-loading pages, and reducing unnecessary network traffic by up to 20%.
+There are several ways to do this
+
+**conanfile.py**: The more modern way with v2+ syntax
+
+```python
+class Pkg(ConanFile):
+  name = "my_project"
+  requires = ['forti-api/0.1.11']  # This is option 1
+
+  def requirements(self):
+    self.requires('forti-api/0.1.11')  # This is option 2, do not define requirements twice
+    self.test_requires('gtest/1.14.0')  # 'test-requires' support makes this a best practice
+```
+
+**conanfile.txt**: while simpler, conanfile.py is preferred for more extensability
+
+```bash
+[requires]
+forti-api/0.1.11
+```
+
+### 🚀 **Build System Integration**
+Integrates Easily with Meson or CMake
+
+**Meson**
 
+```meson
+forti_api_dep = dependency('forti-api', required: true)
+```
 
-## Project Overview
+**CMake**
 
+```cmake
+# Add Forti-API as a dependency
+find_package(forti-api REQUIRED)
 
-### Current Phase
+# Link Forti-API to your target
+target_link_libraries(your_project_name PRIVATE forti-api::forti-api)
+```
 
-The core API support is in place, with ongoing optimizations to enhance functionality and ease of use. Comprehensive build instructions are on the way, along with a streamlined Conan installation process via a dedicated Artifactory server for effortless setup.
+**Include**
+```
+#include <forti_api.hpp>  # universal import
+#include <forti_api/*.hpp>  [api, threat_feed, dns_filter, system, firewall] + more planned in near future
+```
 
-### Future Developments
+### 🛠️ **Including Headers**
+After setting up the dependency, you can include the necessary headers in your source files:
 
-The project is rapidly progressing, with plans to submit a pull request to ConanCenter's index repo in the near future. **forti-api** is poised to become an essential tool for anyone managing FortiGate firewalls.
+```cpp
+#include <forti_api.hpp>          // Universal import for all API components
+#include <forti_api/api.hpp>      // Specific imports for individual components
+#include <forti_api/threat_feed.hpp>
+#include <forti_api/dns_filter.hpp>
+#include <forti_api/system.hpp>
+#include <forti_api/firewall.hpp>
+// ... more modules coming soon!
+```
